Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Chestnut Street
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about leaking joints on a shower screen and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
For a small place like Chestnut Street, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Questions from Chestnut Street
Do you cover Chestnut Street for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Chestnut Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Chestnut Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
Allow two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Is white the only colour available?
There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Common problems we fix in Chestnut Street
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Look out for these signs:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
For landlords with property near Newington station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Chestnut Street homes and their sealant
Chestnut Street is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Borden Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as Chestnut Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
